Featured review
Newhart Season 1 Episode 7 - Splarshy Review
I plan on reviewing all of the episodes of the first and second seasons of Newhart plus an additional four episodes in the series that I feel are worth reviewing.
This episode is called The Perfect Match.
Even in these first two seasons before the show became completely unwatchable with the exception of 4 episodes after season 2, a lot of these episodes do not really give one much to talk about. That is the case with this episode.
This episode is definitely not perfect.
As for the positives, Bob Newhart gives a good performance. Tom Poston gives a good performance as George Utley. The inn setting is maintained and that dependable laugh track is on hand. The main positive however, is the fantastic performance of Steven Kampmann as Kirk Devane. He is the best part of this episode and any episode in which he is included.
The main negatives here are the terrible script, a nearly complete absence of laughs, and the poor performances of both Mary Frann and Jennifer Holmes. Jennifer is given material to work with for the first time in this series but still squanders the opportunity Next time, I'll be reviewing the 8th episode called Some Are Born Writers, Others Have Writers Thrust Upon Them.
Stay tuned!
